A great place and we will definitely return.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Campsite is basic but has running water, showers, toilets and sinks. The location is amazing, the village is a 10 minute walk and the pub is very family friendly.
Great big open space for the kids to run around.
The owner, Jim, is probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He popped on to site every day for a chat and to make sure there were no issues.
Disliked Nothing!!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Just home after a perfect weekend away at Chalk Meadow campsite!
What can I say - a beautiful site, remote as anything and perfectly located for those wanting to visit surrounding areas. We visited Durdle Door, Weymouth and Moreton ford, they were all exceptional. The campsite itself is simple but wonderfully effective. Perfect space for children and doggy to run free all weekend, clean toilets, showers and sinks for washing up. What more do you need? Jim, the owner, popped in daily for a little check in and chat. Such a lovely man. We’ve come back to London and miss it already! Will be returning ASAP. Thank you Jim! Issy (bell tent) x
